I'd like to rename my existing volume groups and logical volumes (I picked names a long time ago I no longer like :-). I recently stumbled across the lvrename and vgrename commands, but when I tried the former to rename the logical volume that my root partition resides on, the system became unbootable. In addition to renaming the LV (and VG if I decide to to that as well), what else needs to be changed? So far my list includes: o /etc/fstabb o /boot/g...

Hi, I want to rename some volume groups and logical volumes. I was not surprised when it would not let me rename active volumes. So I booted up the system using the CentOS 5.5 LiveCD, but the LiveCD makes the logical volumes browsable using Nautilus, so they are still active and I can't rename them. Tried: /usr/sbin/lvchange -a n VolGroup00/LogVol00 but it still says: LV

I renamed my volume with vgrename however I didn't complete the other steps. Mainly update fstab and intiramfs. Once I booted, I was dropped on the Dracut shell. From here I can see the newly rename VG and I can lvm lvscan as well as activate it, lvm vgchange -ay. However I can't figure out what to do next, I'm as...

Hi all, I need to add a drive with the same LVM labels (i.e. system) to a machine with a drive with the same label. How can I access the data on both drive's LVM partitions at the same time? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

CentOS 7 for everything I am probably never using lvm again. I have never not once actually benefited from its capabilities but this is probably the third or fourth time it has gotten in my way. Issue is that I use the tools so rarely that I can't recall what needs to be done to properly mount the drives on another system and finding that info on the web is becoming more difficult as the

...VM Howto, and also tried to follow a few "mount/recovery procedures" with the only result of compromising the other test disk. I think this the problem is that the vg on my system has the same name of the one on the external usb disk, but I am not sure of what result would have running vgrename, vgcreate or lvcreate on the data, so I'd rather wait for some advice. Any help appreciated

We are in the process of migrating several stand-alone server hosts onto a CentOS-6 kvm virtual host. We also use Webmin to administer our hosts. All of the guests, without exception, have been cloned brom a prototype guest using virt-manager. All of the additional VirtIO disks assigned to some of the guests have been added through virt-manager as well. Recently I have encountered a situation

I have a centos 5.6 server that has xen domUs installed on their on logical volumes. These logical volumes contain their own volume groups and again their own logical volumes.

Hi All, I am trying to create an initrd for a VM which uses LVM as its root partition. I am running the mkinitrd command a dom0 that also uses LVM - dom0''s volume group is "XenHost" while the VM''s volume group is "VG_VM10" (not sure if that matters). I issue the mkinitrd command from a chroot''d environment so I get the right /lib/modules &
